Only just noticed this thread, Wolverhampton isn't that far from me so if i can get Lynx going i'll be down, it just needs a bar that it doesn't destroy.
Sign ups are going well - just a note to those roboteers who have already signed up - we have sent out an email asking you a few questions. If you could check your inbox's and spam boxes to make sure you got it and reply, that would be great.
The Arena is starting to make leaps and bounds now: https://www.facebook.com/KinematicEvents

Sounds awesome. I'll have to see about getting Spinza back together.
How many people have signed up?
bit gutted im still waiting on parts to arrive doubt that bonecrusher will be ready for this event
Still over 2 weeks left, so plenty of time to get a robot ready ;-)
I believe John Lear and Clive are rushing theirs together.
We have about 10 teams and 15 robots which is a nice number for the first event and the size of the function room. But still room left for a few more teams.
>>> UPDATE - PRIZE FUND <<<
HobbyKing.co.uk are sponsoring the event with $150's of e-vouchers to use as prizes for this event plus other bits and bobs.
http://www.hobbyking.co.uk - a big thank you to Hobby King, this is just the start between the two companies.
Also Shockbots are sponsoring £90 worth of gift vouchers to use in the prize fund mix - http://www.shockbots.co.uk
Many thanks to Will for this and can't wait to see the Shockbots in action.
Also a reminder, info packs will be emailed out on the 16th of February evening, so keep an eye on your email accounts/spam mail.
We have some important area managers turning up to this event which will be the start of many more to come. Hope to have a good time and see most of you there. Even if you think your robot is not full competition ready, come along and meet/greet/chill/ have a drink at the pub/area of the robot event.
More news/pictures coming this week of the arena and our Pay to Battle Robots- and house robot.

Info packs were emailed out last night - if you havnt recieved it, let me know at info@kinematicevents.com and i'll get that sorted for you. Pay to Battle Bots by Ellis/ranglebox.com are coming on great. The house robot is looking amazing from David Weston and the arena is nearly done - thanks to Simon Cook for the welding. I now have a long weekend of attaching all the polycarb and making the pit work.
Greene King (Hungry Horse) are now pushing the advertising this week/next week. Local Radio stations and papers have agreed to run a competition/advertising campaign. Local interest seems very high also.
And the trophy and gift vouchers have arrived in time for the event: https://www.facebook.com/KinematicEv...type=1&theater
